I own some TSLA stock and in my opinion it's a blip. The stock is heading north of 200 before the end of the year, it's just a matter of velocity. The historic velocity is so much faster then any other company that I expect corrections on a weekly basis. Stock trading is often emotional like a poker player that goes on-tilt. The savvy investor actually sees buying opportunities at moments like this.

Likewise. I'm long TSLA and staying that way.

Lots of day traders on TSLA. Nothing makes them jump ship faster than someone shouting 'fire!'.

To me, that sounds like a good time to buy.

I was thinking the same thing. I've never been walking down the aisle of a supermarket, seen a 5% off sale on something, and thought "wow, those prices are tumbling".

It's like here in Aus, for quite a few years house prices were increasing 20-30% each year. After it plateaued, a decrease of 1-2% is described in the media as 'free fall' or 'crashing' or any number of other fear-mongering descriptors.
